DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe notion of well-being holds relevance to each 17 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Well-being is a major underlying driver of policy coherence across sectors and encourages galvanized action. Advancing societal well-being helps create active, resilient and sustainable communities at local, national and global levels – enabling them to respond to current and emerging health threats, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and environmental disasters. By its comprehensive nature, well-being unites the health, economic, social and environmental dimensions of the sustainable development agenda, forming a political construct that blends the health and quality of life of people and communities, with concepts of equity and planetary sustainability. Recognizing the call for action the idea implies, the aim of this discussion paper is to illuminate well-being as a policy framework and describe its application in practice to inform the strategic work of the World Health Organization as a central component of the Healthier Populations Framework and the sustainable development agenda.
